I can't tell you how many times I've told them to stay off the patio with the blowers even if they see leaves (so they don't blow dust and dirt all over the glass). They seem to forget unless reminded constantly. Yet they are better than the last service, which mutilated the edges of the lawn. Unless you DIY, you have to accept that a service will do something wrong.
I see the local lawn services doing this. they really stress the grass out when they mow super low. unless they're cutting it 3x a week I can see the grass not stressing out but only once a week is not healthy for the grass. at least that's what I notice here in my neighborhood
Yep and the other sore point is sharpening mower cutting blades. If I go outside and see the grass cut really short with shredded blades of grass... They listen to the customer once and then slip back into old ways. For all I know they adjust mower height when I complain and then other customers complain it isn't short enough.
